If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question

Let's say you're filthy stinking rich and had $1,000,000+ to spend on an audio system. What would you do, assemble a single SOTA system or for the same amount of money put together multiple very high quality (and certainly not cheap) non-SOTA systems.

This fantasy is in the either/or format. Points will be deducted for thoses who answer "both".

I'd definitiely go with at least two rooms/systems. I think one of the reasons I buy and sell a lot of equipment is because of my varied musical tastes. I've found that there is no one single component that plays ALL music the best. They all seem to sacrifice dynamics for smoothness, or vice versa, to some extent. I'd love to have a SET tube monoblocks driving my Avantgarde speakers for my relaxing, smooth mostly vocal arrangements.
Feel like rocking? Go down the hall to the room with the big ass SS monoblocks driving large dynamic speakers.
Ahhhhh....what a life that would be....
